Top five metal songs

Here's my top five, which has remained unchanged for the last couple of years:

1- Soldiers under command (STRYPER)
2- Bloodstreets (RIOT)
3- Renegade (HAMMERFALL)
4- Never (Ultimatum)
5- Infected (UDO)

Weird selection i know, but that's what i like. What are your favourites?

i'd have a hard time picking out 5 albums. 5 songs would be next to impossible.

1. Dry Bone Valley - Mastodon
2. Into the Pit - Testament
3. Bleak - Opeth
4. Parabola - Tool
5. Altar of Sacrifice - Slayer

There is no way I could pick top 5 metal songs - there are way too many great songs to choose from

I've really been enjoying Dry Bone Valley lately as well. One of the better tracks on The Hunter

As of this moment....no order

"scepter of deceit" by Savage Grace
"stricken by fate" by Armored Saint
"satan's fall" by Hirax
"desert plains" by Judas Priest
"under my gun" by Icon

(head explodes)

Cant' do it.

It's a tough task, i agree. But these are the songs i've been enjoying the most. Of course, a top ten would include songs like Master of Puppet and Tornado of Souls.

No way I can do this.

same goes for me. waay too labor intensive to even try...

I can't pick just five.

I'll play your game, Gilbert. The line-up may change, but these are songs I never get tired of hearing.

1. In My Darkest Hour - Megadeth
2. Fade to Black - Metallica
3. Master of Puppets - Metallica
4. Antisocial - Anthrax (I don't care that it's a cover)
5. Paranoid - Black Sabbath

Alternate: Ace of Spades - Motorhead

"Painkiller"
"Queen of the Ryche"
"Battle Hymn"
"Armed and Dangerous"
"The Uninvited Guest"

This is difficult, and this in no particular order. If you asked me at a later time, this list would probably be totally different. But here it goes:

Black Sabbath - Into the Void
Death - Crystal Mountain
Dio - Egypt (The Chains are On)
Iron Maiden - Infinite Dreams
Savatage - Strange Wings

I'm shocked actually, but two songs on your list would probably make mine as well, 'Queen of the Ryche" and "Armed and Dangerous". Two songs that absolutely kill IMO!

I also though about "Fast As A Shark" as it was one of those songs that just blew me away back i the early 80's.

I just can't cut it down to only five songs.

I'm not even sure those are my top 5, but the top 2 are probably accurate.

I could more confidently make a top 25 or top 50 list, and shuffle them around enough so the top 10 would at least be pretty solid.

Slayer - Angel Of Death
Riot - Altar Of The King
Queensryche - Suite Sister Mary
Metal Church - Gods Of Wrath
Ozzy Osbourne - Centre Of Eternity

Yeah, I won't even try.

But Metal Church - Metal Church would probably be in there

nicel list

1. Blind Guardian - Imaginations from the Other Side
2. Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
3. Savatage - Gutter Ballet
4. Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name
5. Dio - Holy Diver

Changes daily though.

Same here, even a top 100 album list would be impossible.

Too many to narrow down to 5.

I'll give this a shot...

Anvil - Free as the Wind
Grim Reaper - See You in Hell
Venom - Sacrifice
Anthrax - Lone Justice
Oz - Turn the Cross Upside Down

I suppose that'll work......

Infinite Dreams - Iron Maiden
Hell Rider - Judas Priest
Kill the King - Megadeth
Welcome to the Jungle - GnR
One - Metallica

1: Painkiller
2: Bury Me In Smoke
3: Dopesmoker
4: Wasp/Behind The Wall Of Sleep/Bassically/N.I.B. (I like this version better lol)
5: Phantom Lord
